I realize it isn't one FSN Indiana - but it is on NBATV - so my question is will it be blacked out here in the Indianapolis area.

It doesn't look like it (I just checked my guide). TSN is carrying the game, so they will be showing it in HD on their HD channel. I didn't know you could get RaptorsHDTV in Indy?

Has Directv been showing the NBA TV games in HD like in year's past on a channel between 90-100?

And are those still available to HD pkg subscribers even if you don't subscribe to NBA TV? They used to be... but Pacer games would be blacked out if the local channel was also carrying them... even tho the local broadcast wasn't in HD.

UB... why would it be blacked out Sunday?

Because it is blacked out in the local markets so that the games can be on the local stations. But since the game isn't on FSN will they lift the blackout.

I think last year when the Pacers were on NBATV, but not locally, that I could watch it. But that was so rare that I don't really remember for sure.

Last year, it was shown on NBATV. I know because there were games I would get, but Grace wouldn't, because she didn't have the sports package, just FSMW.

OK, but on Comcast digital cable you can't get the sports package.

Sorry, I was referring to DirecTV.

My money is on "you're outta luck". The rights are held by NBATV it sounds like and since they are in your market (although not on your cable provider) that probably means no one else can carry it.

I hope this isn't true of course.

So we won't know until 1:00 Sunday?

Well, what usually happens for me when something is blacked out, is when I go to select it ahead of time (to tell my DVR to record it), I get a pop up saying that it is blacked out in my area.

I just skipped to 1PM tomorrow on NBATV, and it lists our game. I selected it, and got no pop up. Instead, I was taken to the screen where I set up my recording. I now have it set to record. This tells me it's not blacked out.

This may vary depending on where you are, but usually Indiana games on NBATV are blacked out for me (because FSN carries most games). I live in New Castle, which is about 40-45 miles from Indianapolis.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though, because it is scheduled to be on InHD (Comcast ch. 206).

I guess those of us with Directv and no NBATv are just out of luck?

NBATV on TVU is really pissing me off... it seems like it plays the commercials perfectly but as soon as the game comes up it starts pausing and buffering every few seconds...

That's too bad. ;)

I don't have NBA TV so luckily I didn't have to see it. All I see is terrible bench scoring (assuming Jack is really one of the main 5, esp. by minutes) and that the PG situation wasn't so hot. Tinsley with 7 TOs, SarJas with no scoring and 2 TOs himself.

If they could have had at least 4-5 makes from the 16-17 the bench guys took it looks like they would have won. But again I didn't see it so I don't really know.
